the liar that wasn't

PSA: yes Johnny is the love interest for Cecilia, yes i'm aware he's a gay character but this book will not be mirroring the show/book in the exact way it was written. some things are changed for the sole purpose that this is a FANfiction. just keep that in mind before you hate, much love!

Two summers ago, Cecilia Monroe Sutton vanished from Beechwood Island.
No explanation. No goodbye. The Sinclairs never spoke of her again - not even the Liars, who once swore she was one of them. Now, the summer after everything burned, Cecilia returns.

She walks back into a world still cracked with grief and secrets. She has memory gaps. Cadence and Mirren watch her like a threat. Gat won't look her in the eyes. And Johnny - Johnny remembers everything, especially the part where he let her go.

But Cecilia didn't come back for closure.
She came back because someone is lying.
And the truth is colder than the water that surrounds Beechwood.

What happened the summer she left?
What really happened the summer they burned?
And who decides who belongs - and who gets erased?
